The Blue Spot 3 Litre One User Operated Brake and Clutch Bleeder is ideal for bleeding
brakes with no external power source. The brake and clutch bleeder is suitable for use with
most vehicle types and the pressure range makes it ideal for use with ABS systems.The bleeder
tank has a 3 litre capacity for holding hydraulic fluid. This enables the entire system to be
flushed with one fill without the risk of running the reservoir dry.The brake bleeder is complete
with a pressure gauge to easily check the operating pressure.
Contents: 3 litre capacity bleeder tank, 1 litre capacity suction bottle, Ø45mm cap with
straight adaptor, 90° angled connector, 1 release valve, 1 pump, 1 hose with adaptor, 1 hose
with angled connector and container cap, 1 container cap wrench, 1 litre bottle hanging chain.
Introduction
DO NOT EXCEED 28PSI / 1.9 Bar. Exceeding this pressure may damage the hydraulic
system on your vehicle and could result in serious injury.

Operation
Before beginning always ensure you have read the safe use points from the manual and
that they have all been followed.
ALWAYS ensure you have familiarised yourself with the hazards of brake fluid before
beginning.
ALWAYS ensure you are only using the type of brake fluid recommended for your vehicle.
DO NOT touch the brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
NOTE – Copper grease should always be applied to the brake bleeding nipples before and
after the brake bleeding procedure.This will help to eliminate the possibility of the brake
nipples becoming seized or broken when the brakes are next bled.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturers instructions for brake bleeding and for the wheel
sequence. Familiarise yourself with the instructions and follow the steps they set out on
how this should be done.
Before beginning
1. Before beginning with the brake bleeding it is important to check and the bleeder and
ensure it is clean from any dirt or debris and is free from old brake fluid.
2. If there is dirt/debris in the old brake fluid this will need syphoning out of the system
before the beginning.The reservoir will then need to be filled with new and clean fluid.
DO NOT proceed to bleed the brakes with dirty brake fluid. Always ensure you have
followed the steps above before beginning.
Checking for leaks
Before bleeding the brakes we recommend checking the brake bleeding kit for any leaks or
cracks. Follow the steps below for how to do this –
1. On the vehicle fluid reservoir securely attach the bleeder cap.
2. Check the gasket on the vehicle for any wear or cracks and ensure it is securely
attached.
3. On the empty 3 litre bleeder tank tighten the cap and fittings.
4. Check the gauge on the bleeder tank and pressurise to 10PSI / 0.7 bar.
5. Check all of the connections on the bleeder tank and the fluid reservoir to look for any
leaks. If any leaks are found slowly and carefully unscrew the cap to release the
pressure in the bleeder tank. ALWAYS ensure the bleeder tank has been depressurised
before removing the cap. Check the gauge to ensure the pressure has dropped to the
lowest point that it can.
6. Repeat the process above ensuring any connections have been tightened.
7. When the process above has been completed and no leaks have been found move on to
the steps below for preparing and bleeding the brakes.
Preparation for bleeding the brakes
1. Unscrew the container cap on the 3 litre bleeder tank.
2. Fill the container with new brake fluid.You can add up to 1.25 litres of new brake fluid.
Be careful not to overfill. ALWAYS ensure you are only using the type of brake fluid
recommended for your vehicle.
3. Fit and screw the container cap back on to the 3 litre bleeder tank. Be careful not to
overtighten.
4. Place the container in a secure position.
5. Remove the cap from the vehicles brake reservoir.
6. Check the level of the brake fluid and top it up to its maximum if it is not already at the
maximum.
7. Securely fit the brake bleed adaptor with the adaptor over the brake reservoir neck.
8. Check that the system is sealed.
9. Pressurise the bleeder to the level recommended in the vehicle service manual. DO NOT
exceed 28 PSI / 1.9 Bar. Exceeding this pressure may damage the hydraulic system on
your vehicle and could result in serious injury.
10. Check and retighten any connections if the system does not hold the pressure.
11.The brake system has now been primed and is ready for brake bleeding.
Bleeding the brakes
Refer to the vehicle manufacturers instructions for brake bleeding and for the wheel
sequence. Familiarise yourself with the instructions and follow the steps they set out on
how this should be done.
1. Wipe clean each bleed screw with a dry cloth.
2. Using the clear plastic hose supplied in the set attach the angled connector over the
brake nipple and screw the container cap for the 1 litre bottle over the 1 litre capacity
suction bottle.
3. Unscrew the bleed screw so that the brake fluid is released into the clear hose.
4. Bleed until the brake fluid is free of any bubbles.
5. Tighten the bleed screw to close the fitting. Refer to your vehicle manufacturer’s
manual for the torque that this should be tightened to. Be careful not to overtighten.
6. This will need to be repeated on each bleed screw.
7. If necessary additional pressure can be pumped into the bleeder tank. Check the gauge
on the bleeder tank to check the pressure.
8. When complete slowly and carefully unscrew the cap to release the pressure in the
bleeder tank. ALWAYS ensure the bleeder tank has been depressurised before removing
the cap. Check the gauge to ensure the pressure has dropped to the lowest point that
it can.
9. Carefully remove the cap from the fluid reservoir. Be careful not to spill any brake fluid
that is still in the hose.
10. Securely attach the fluid reservoir cap on the vehicle.
11. On the vehicle reservoir check the maximum fill line to ensure that the brake fluid is at
the indicated line.
ALWAYS check and ensure that any connections have been tightened and that the wheels
are secured correctly.
ALWAYS check the brakes on the vehicle when the brake bleeding is complete to make
sure they are working correctly and are not spongey.The vehicle must not be used on the
road until the brakes have been correctly tested.
DO NOT store any fluid in the containers when they are not in use.
